"Hand the phone over," said Xu Lan who was barely containing his anger.
Xiao Zhang handed the phone over gingerly, as though he was the one who made a mistake.
"Hello, Bai Wu. I'm Xu Lan."
"Papa, Papa, is that really you? Sob… Papa, where did you go? I'm so scared. Where are you, Papa? Hiccup…"
It was normal for Bai Wu to choke and hiccup whenever he cried.
"I'm picking up your call in the police station now." Xu Lan's tone was not softened by Bai Wu's gentle cries. If anything, he was even more displeased.
The fact that Bai Wu could make a call showed that he was not as helpless as he claimed to be.
"... Papa, I'm terrified. When are you coming back?" After noticing Xu Lan's displeasure, Bai Wu sobbed harder as he asked.
"Go to bed. I'll be home when I'm done," said Xu Lan solemnly.
